In the past two decades, randomized trials have shown that omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA, significantly decrease mortality from cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association now recommends that everyone should consume omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular benefits.

There is also mounting evidence that a diet containing omega-3 fatty acids may also prevent depression.

FDA “Qualified Health Claims” Omega-3 Fatty Acids & Coronary Heart Disease. Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
